[linux-audio-user] PlanetCCRMA - RealPlayer -artsd problems

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

  I installed RealPlayer on a machine running RH 8.0 and PlanetCCRMA. At
first it worked fine, but now it gets the following error on startup
under KDE :

	SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT failed
	Cannot allocate memory

  Anyone know how to resolve the problem ? Is artsd the culprit here ?

  RealPlayer also complains that another application has the sound
device. Weird: this machine has a SBLive installed with the PlanetC ALSA
drivers, I don't understand why RealPlayer complains about not being
able to access the device. So, how do I check to see who's hogging the
resources ?

Best regards,
